Guyana’s energy mix is currently dominated by fossil fuels, with over 90% of electricity generated from heavy fuel oil and diesel. While the country is a rapidly expanding global oil producer, it aims to shift towards renewable energy, targeting close to 100% renewable power by 2040 through projects like the 165-MW Amaila Falls hydropower plant and expanded solar mini-grids.
Guyana is exploring green hydrogen, leveraging its massive offshore oil and gas industry to potentially transition into cleaner energy. Through the Low Carbon Development Strategy (LCDS) 2030, the country aims to use its vast natural resources, including solar and hydropower, to support sustainable development. The country is also exploring the potential of utilizing offshore gas for hydrogen production, which can be coupled with renewable sources for sustainable, long-term energy solutions.
As of 2026, there is no information indicating that Guyana is producing green hydrogen by electrolysis of seawater.
